§ 138-5

Additional declarations.

In accordance with and pursuant to the authority of L. 1988, c. 44 (N.J.S.A.
2C:35-7), the Drug-Free School Zone Map produced on or about October 24, 1988,
by Land Engineering, Municipal Engineer, is hereby approved and adopted as
an official finding and record of the location and areas within the municipality
of property which is used for school purposes and which is owned by or leased
to an elementary or secondary school or school board and of the areas on or
within 1,000 feet of such school property.

The Drug-Free School Zone Map approved and adopted pursuant to § 138-1
of this Article shall continue to constitute an official finding and record
as to the location and boundaries of areas on or within 1,000 feet of property
owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or school board which
is used for school purposes until such time, if any, that this Article shall
be amended to reflect any additions or deletions with respect to the location
and boundaries of school property and Drug-Free School Zones.

The school board, or the chief administrative officer in the case of
any private or parochial school, is hereby directed and shall have the continuing
obligation to promptly notify the Riverside Township Engineer and the Municipal
Solicitor of any changes or contemplated changes in the location and boundaries
of any property owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or
school board and which is used for school purposes.

The Clerk of the municipality is hereby directed to receive and to keep
on file the original of the map approved and adopted pursuant to § 138-1
of this Article and to provide at a reasonable cost a true copy thereof to
any person, agency or court which may from time to time request such a copy,
along with a certification that such copy is a true copy of the map approved
and adopted herein and kept on file. It is hereby further directed that a
true copy of such map and of this Article shall be provided without cost to
the Clerk of Burlington County and to the office of the Burlington County
Prosecutor.

It is understood that the map approved and adopted pursuant
to § 138-1 of this Article was prepared and is intended to be used
as evidence in prosecutions arising under the criminal laws of this state,
and that pursuant to state law, such map shall constitute prima facie evidence
of the following:

All of the property depicted on the map approved and
adopted herein as school property was owned by or leased to a school or school
board and was being used for school purposes as of July 9, 1987, that being
the effective date of L. 1988, c. 44 (N.J.S.A. 2C:35-7).

a prosecutor is not precluded from introducing or relying upon
any other evidence or testimony to establish a violation of the offense defined
in that statute, including use of a map or diagram other than the one approved
and adopted pursuant to § 138-1 of this Article. The failure of
the map approved herein to depict the location and boundaries of any property
which is, in fact, used for school purposes and which is owned by or leased
to any elementary or secondary school or school board, whether the absence
of such depiction is the result of inadvertent omission or the result of any
changes in the location and boundaries of such property which have not yet
been incorporated into a revised approved map, shall not be deemed to be an
official finding and record that such property is not owned by or leased to
a school or school board or that such property is not used for school purposes.
